By collaborating with partners, we can accelerate the developments and implementation of new technologies as well as the transition to sustainable energy sources. The core of our collaboration is co-creation: to develop solutions that are feasible, reusable and scalable. We use a letter of support to formalize our strategic and multi-year collaborations.
In a letter of support, partners or a Learning Community explain that they support the initiative and want to be actively involved. This support can consist of financial or in-kind contributions, such as providing facilities or expertise, participating in Learning Community activities, giving guest lectures and attending meetings and continuing education activities. Through a support letter, partners show that they recognize the importance of the Learning Community and that they are dedicated to supporting and furthering the community’s goals.
Together with businesses, municipalities, provinces and top consortia for knowledge and innovation, we make arrangements for strategic collaboration. In a letter of intent, we arrange together to develop initiatives and innovation projects that are of importance for both parties. Every six months we discuss the progress of strategic collaboration statements together with our partners. The collaboration focuses on one or more pillars. These pillars are:
• Innovation challenges, research questions and projects
• Student assignmens and internship positions for graduating students
• Developments in the labor market
• Experimenting and demonstration
• Knowledge communication
• Visibility and networking
